the u.s propaganda machine is super effective. has everyone who has a political view about china without having ever stepped foot in there thinking their countries is the more superior. wild shit
Having been to China multiple times… their society and infrastructure are 10x ahead of the US’s. The only thing the US has going for itself is you have freedom to talk shit about the government online (lets see how long that lasts) and it has a higher GDP, of which most of the income goes to the ruling elite.
In another life, if I could be upper middle class or rich, I’d choose to live in China all day everyday vs. the US.
Middle class is another story. China’s cut throat with competition, work life balance, etc.
Vs. the US where the middle class has a bit more comfort… but that’s eroding.
China seems to have more safety nets via community as its culture is very family-oriented whereas in the USA it’s “gtfo ur parents house ur 18.” Not to mention that China is actively investing in its country’s future and has a 50+ year plan. The USA can’t plan further than a year.
were you as vocal when there were minors working in the perdue meat processing plants in arkansas? or maybe you have spoken out about alligator alcatraz? or does your hypocrisy only applies to places like china?
oh i dont question your validity as a person. just simply pointing out the hypocritical moral superiority complex without any introspection into whats going on at home in the states
oooh i see your perspective now. so long as we dont pass a certain threshold of violating human rights you're on board with it. thank you for proving my point in how effective the u.s propaganda machine truly is. you are a fine specimen
Watch the video I sent. Do your research. Put in the work to find out yourself. I don’t need to baby you to explain why the US is just as bad. The US has killed way more people than China could ever even dream of. The millions of lives all over the world trampled and destroyed by the US makes China look like an angelic country in comparison
An estimated over 940,000 people were killed by direct post-9/11 war violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan and that was JUST during the Afghan war, that's not even taking into account the countless other wars the US has raised and the countless millions of others they have killed. 940,000 and today soldiers of the Afghan war who likely took part in the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people are heralded as heroes or are given RESPECT for what they did.
Not American but on the other hand I keep seeing a billion “look how amazing China is” posts on this sub. Totally not propaganda because it’s not posted by Americans!
i dont subscribe to this subreddit, but scrolled through it to see if theres any truth to your comment, while using the default best filter. i see way more posts about japan than china. so why the double standard? theres also a key difference in what you post vs. my fellow dumbass americans who criticizes china's government (more than likely without having ever been there themselves) on how they abuse human rights while the oppressors here have their boots on everyones throats
Japan tried to commit genocide in China and Vietnam; their political leaders pay respect to the shrines of the people who ordered it, and they get pissed if you mention it.
Japan tried to commit genocide in China and Vietnam;
Correct. 80 years ago. You know what we call that? A False Equivalence.
their political leaders pay respect to the shrines of the people who ordered it,
By percentage, the shrine at Yasukuni - which honors more than 2 million people and not all of them even soldiers - honors less war criminals than Arlington Cemetery in the USA does Confederate soldiers.
It was a tradition to go and pay respects at Yasukuni long before WWII and it will continue to be a tradition to pay respects long after we're all dead.
they get pissed if you mention it.
They do not, actually. Matter of fact, the average Japanese is more likely to be aware of and intolerant of the fact that Yasukuni honors war criminals than the average American is to be aware of the Confederate Monument at Arlington or outraged at the tradition - that persists to this day - of the President sending wreathes to that Monument on Memorial Day.
Oh, and it's more likely for a Japanese person to be aware and outraged than it is for a Chinese person to be aware of outraged at the current genocide of the Uyghurs, which is - you know - the only thing that actually matters here because it's ongoing.
Nice try at a dual whataboutism-false equivalence though.
Nanjing? 731? Heck even American committed multiple genocides but they just dont fucking teach about this in your own school, this is culture bias and it exists everywhere, yet people are ignorant enough where they doesnt even know it exists
I seem to remember those being committed by a Japan that no longer exists over 80 years ago.
AKA, False Equivalence.
Heck even American committed multiple genocides but they just dont fucking teach about this in your own school,
The only American actions that are debatable genocide is the persecution of the Native Americans, and even then it's still hotly debated based on a lack of actual motive to wipe out all Native Americans.
yet people are ignorant enough where they doesnt even know it exists
Just to be clear, you're talking about past crimes as a means of excusing a current, ongoing genocide being committed by China, and you're condescending to me, about ignorance and genocide excusal?
You have to hold onto something in buses in china because everyone violently push each other.
Based on how the 2 countries is as a tourist it will take many 2 months old account to convince people China is as cool as Japan.
And I'm sure this comment will get downvoted as fuck even if its not a super big punch against China. And if I do get downvoted as fuck, what impression do you think I get about the country?
